I’ve starting a new player.

`gPlayer = new Twitch.Player("youtubeplayer", options);`

In the options, I set up the video Id in the ‘video’ property. When I run the code, I get an error:

**t.channel is not implemented**

However, according to the [guide](https://dev.twitch.tv/docs/embed/video-and-clips/), I don’t need a channel in order for the interactive video clip to be displayed. The code works when I add a channel, but when I omit it it doesn’t.

Code:

```
 var options = {
   width: 560,
   height: 315,
  autoplay: true,
  control: true,
 video: "EnergeticCallousEmuBuddhaBar"
 };
  gPlayer = new Twitch.Player("player", options);
```
